Yeah, I'm running the bash with the 2x10. My only problem is right now I'm living in New Mexico and none of the bike shops where I'm at carry any 2x10 stuff. What is the "double specific' SLX? Is that different than just the standard SLX? I appreciate the help man

The double specific 9 speed front derailleur is the M665 and M667. The cage is smaller and won't interfere with the frame and tire. I use one myself. No experience with 10 speed, but that part is M675 and M676.

Thanks for the insight bud. Hopefully you can help me with another question I have as well...I'm wondering what would I need to do to swap my old Quadra5 over to my TA?

This is my first build and I'm still trying to figure out my setup. You've definitely made me feel comfortable asking questions on the forum....

I don't even know what that is.

But the TransAM begs for a 1x9 or 1x10 with bashguard set up. I ran 2x9 on my old TransAM and never really used the big ring. This season I am 1x9 on all my bikes and I'm just lost at why people need 3x9 or even 3x10 for bikes in the All-Mountain segment. 1x9 and 1x10 will be plenty fine.

Granny is plenty useful on the local fireroad grinds. You know, to get to good runs downhill.

Big ring is evil and very dangerous for any spirited riding: Calf meet chainring. (required viewing if you still run it on your AM bike)
